Still LIfes
Shelley finds influences for her Flower Pieces Fine Art photographs in many places. From the Dutch Masters of the 17th and 18th centuries, to Pierre-Joseph Redouté (1746-1800) and Georgia O’Keeffe (1887-1986). Also, her fascination with the complex forms a flower can have is teased out in her close up portraits.
In her Still Life Fine Art Photographs Shelley uses natural light and her influence by the Dutch and Flemish Masters of the 16th and 17th Centuries is clear to see. Most of the photographs contain messages and symbols as they would have done all those years ago. She is also entranced by the beauty and intricacies of the natural world which she tries to reveal by photographing food “up close and personal”.
Lately she has been working with shapes and textures even more closely where the objects and the spaces in between them create more contemplative pieces.
She also offers a commissions service so she can photograph a favourite dish or food in her unique style.
